Teeny Tiny Summit highlights rural issues BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
On Wednesday June 28, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) hosted the Teeny Tiny Summit, an economic development discussion and workshop, at the Merrickville Community Centre. The Teeny Tiny Summit focused on collaborative thinking and developing strategies to support rural communities, and was open to anyone actively engaged in making a difference in their small community. Over a hundred people attended the summit, and the same number of guests were expected to attend the repeat event in Havelock the following day. Katie Nolan, who chaired the project this year, said the event was successful in bringing like-minded people together to talk about what works in small communities. “Rural communities responded so overwhelmingly,” she said. “There was
a huge amount of interest, energy, skill, and experience of people wanting to have that discussion.” Nolan also spoke to the significance behind the name, “Teeny Tiny Summit.” “We didn’t want people to feel left out of traditional economic discussions because they think that they’re for bigger communities, or that it doesn’t apply to them,” she said. “We call it ‘teeny tiny places,’ so they know we are talking to them. We are very small rural communities.” One of the keynote speakers at the event was Peter Kenyon, a renowned Australian community development expert, who spoke about the importance of collaboration among residents in small communities. “We don’t have the sense of community that we used to have,” Kenyon said, “and there are many reasons for that, but I think people are disengaging from commu-

CEO of Mills Community Support retires, new CEO appointed The board of directors for Mills Community Support (MCS) announces the retirement of Mike Coxon from the role of chief executive officer (CEO), and the appointment of the new CEO for the organization. Coxon was CEO for Mills Community Support for nearly a decade, since 2008 and will retire effective July 7. Coxon had a huge impact on the Lanark County community throughout those years. From the early days of his tenure, he demonstrated his passion for community, his knowledge of the issues facing communities, and an ability to bring people together towards common goals. Coxon brought his expertise in governance, facilitation, person-centred thinking and community development to the organization, and shared these gifts with the broader community. He generously gave of his time to build capacity in other organizations and leaders, teaching by example how we can achieve more by working together. He has made things happen in the communities supported by MCS and within the organization itself, building a strong team of professionals, volunteers and partners, who now have a deeper understanding of community development principles. North Lanark communities are better for Coxon’s contributions, and his impact will be felt for years to come. Stepping into the role of CEO effective July 10 is Robert Eves. Eves comes to the organization with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the health and social service sector in a variety of senior leadership roles. He was most recently the director of strategic partnerships and knowledge mobilization with the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, where he led the planning and staging
Mike Coxon of the Opioid Conference and Summit in November 2016, among other notable accomplishments. Prior to that role, Eves was the executive director for Big Brothers Big Sisters Ottawa, and his early career included leadership positions in mental health and addictions, with a focus on older adults and other vulnerable populations. “We had some big shoes to fill, with the retirement of Mike Coxon after nearly a decade of service in the role,” said Mills Community Support board chair Karen Milligan, “but we are very confident that Robert Eves will be a strong leader for the organization, and an asset to the community for this next phase of our development. We are thrilled to have him on board.” Eves has a very strong track record of bringing people together towards a common goal, developing partnerships that are mutually beneficial, and
Robert Eves contribute to better outcomes for the people served and the broader community. As a former clinician, and then later as executive director of the organization Community Outreach Programs in Addictions, he learned the value of helping people to live independently, and stay involved in their communities. “I am excited and proud to be joining the team at Mills Community Support. I have spent the majority of my 25-year career working in health and community services with a focus on vulnerable populations such as older adults, children and persons with disabilities,” noted Eves. “Throughout this time I have been driven by the belief that vital community services, like MCS, play an important role in building strong and healthy communities. With the changing demographic of Lanark County, MCS will play an increasingly important role in the lives of the residents of Mississippi Mills,

Carleton Place, Beckwith Township and Smiths Falls. The ability to keep people thriving and living independently ‘in place’ is an invaluable resource to the communities that MCS serves.” Eves lives with his family in Carp
and MCS looks forward to introducing him to the communities they support throughout Lanark County. The intensive selection process for the new MCS chief executive officer involved countless hours of time and energy dedicated to the task of finding a new leader. A CEO succession committee comprised of MCS board directors Karen Milligan, Bob McGaraughty, Sarah Montgomery and Lorne Heslop was assisted in this task by invaluable input from stakeholders and partners. Mills Community Support assists more than 1,000 people throughout Lanark County to live independent, safe and healthy lives. MCS provides seniors’ services and programs such as home support and personal care at home, provides affordable housing to seniors and families, supports adults with complex needs, and initiates community development projects to build healthy, welcoming communities.

RVCA plants over 275,000 trees this spring on ‘root’ to 6.5 million by 2020 The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) is excited to announce that over 275,000 trees were planted this spring. RVCA and partners are well on the way to planting 6.5 million trees by 2020! RVCA’s private landowner treeplanting program, available throughout eastern Ontario, is the perfect way to get the direction, planting plan, and any available incentive funding for reforesting projects. In cases where landowners plant over 2,000 trees, RVCA works with a number of partners (Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, City of Ottawa, Forests Ontario, and local businesses) to keep costs as low as $0.15 per tree. Landowners with at
least one acre of land who are willing to plant 500 or more trees are encouraged to call 613-692-3571 or 1-800267-3504 and speak with forestry staff to book a site visit or get more information. "We have numerous communityminded partners who support our tree-planting program and reduce landowner costs,” says Scott Danford, RVCA Forestry Program Manager. “Simply, we need enthusiastic landowners to partner and plant with throughout the Rideau watershed.” Tree-planting is one of the most practical ways to take care of our watershed and the wider environment. Trees improve local biodiversity by providing shelter for birds and wild-
life, while at the same time providing us with windbreaks, screening, and shade. Forests act as a major filter and cleansing system for water that soaks into the ground and feeds our wells and underground water systems. The newly-planted trees take a little tender loving care in their early years, but once they are “free-growing” they
provide all of these advantages for up to 80 years or more. Trees are vital for a healthy and sustainable future; start planning now for planting next spring. Trees improve our land and air by acting as miniature environmental cleaning stations. Rootlets help hold the soil in place to protect against erosion and improve water retention. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide and
release oxygen, helping to reduce the effects of climate change. In one year, an acre of trees absorbs as much carbon as is produced by a car driven 14,000 kilometres. They also act like natural air conditioners; the evaporation from one tree has the same cooling effects as 10 room-sized air conditioners working 20 hours a day.

The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s Board of Trustees has approved an operating budget of $175.5 million, and a capital budget of $18.3 million, which includes the construction of a new JK-8 elementary school in Smiths Falls. All expenditure areas were carefully reviewed for efficiencies and to ensure excellence in Catholic program delivery for students across eastern Ontario. “The board is required to present a balanced budget for compliance to the Ministry of Education. The 2017-2018 budget, totalling $193.8 million, is compliant with all enveloping provisions required on board administration, special education, indigenous education perpupil amount, school renewal expenditures, school condition improvement, mental health, and library staff,” explained superintendent of business, Bon-
nie Norton. Legislative grants make up $144.5 million and local taxation includes $20.62 million. Other revenue totals $6.7 million and includes tuition fees from the International and Personal Support Worker programs, other grants from outside of the GSN including the Math Strategy and the OYAP program, and revenue to offset the amortization expense on the board’s capital assets. Capital Projects The board’s total capital budget will be $18.3 million, with $2.9 million allotted for School Condition Improvement, to help address facility repairs and upgrades. An additional $1.9 million will be used for School Renewal, with $12.6 million allocated for the new JK-8 elementary school to be constructed in Smiths Falls. Trustees approved the budget at the board meeting held June 21, 2016. Board chair,
Todd Lalonde, thanked the group, "I would like to thank Mrs. Norton and the finance department for all of their work in preparing the budget. We recognize the hard work of your team in calculating this information, and in continuing to ensure the board’s ongoing fiscal accountability.” Director William Gartland noted, “The board works very hard to ensure that all of the needs of our students are met through the most effective allocation of available resources. I would like to commend all staff for their ongoing success in managing our board’s financial resources.” The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) operates 40 elementary and 10 secondary schools across eight counties. The CDSBEO offers excellence in Catholic education through provincial-leading programs to approximately 12,800 students.

COMMENTARY High waters are still problematic
F
lows and levels across the Mississippi River watershed and the Rideau River watershed have been steadily increasing over the last few days but are beginning to stabilize. Levels on the majority of the upper lakes have been steady and some are beginning to decline. According to the authorities’ websites, all lakes remain at or above the target levels but barring any additional significant rainfall, are expected to be close to target levels by the end of the week. Flows in the rivers downstream of the dams are significantly higher than normal for this time of year and are expected to remain that way over the next two weeks. Dalhousie Lake increased approximately 40 cm last weekend and is expected to increase another five to 10 cm this week as the water from the upper lakes reaches that location. Water levels on Mississippi Lake have risen 16 cm over the weekend and are expected to increase another five to 10 cm over the next few days. Flows along the Carp River increased dramatically over the week-
end but are now beginning to decline. Rainfall on July 1 was varied over the watershed with 42 mm measured at the Ottawa Airport, 31 mm at Franktown in the upper Jock River watershed but less than 10 mm in Kemptville and Westport. Flooding is not expected in these watersheds, however, safety is an issue around smaller streams that have fast flows with wet and muddy banks. The authorities remind the public to exercise extreme caution around all water bodies. Banks adjacent to rivers and creeks are very slippery at this time and, when combined with current flow conditions, pose a serious hazard. Parents are encouraged to keep their children and pets away from all watercourses until conditions return to normal. Please keep in mind when boating on any lake or river in our area, to keep your wakes to a minimum as the shorelines are still sensitive to flooding and the backwash from a boat’s wake can still be detrimental to the sensitive environment, not to mention, people’s homes and cottage properties.
Entertainment came by way of goat during a visit to the neighbours Evelyn wasn’t the most popular girl at the Northcote School. She wasn’t unpopular, either. She was just there, minding her own business, doing exactly what Miss Crosby asked of her, and always had her homework done, and her desk drawer in perfect order. Evelyn wasn’t much of a talker, either. So, although we knew her family as neighbours, I knew little about what Evelyn did at home. Did she play with dolls? Did she have a pet cat, or a pet chicken like I did? I knew she worked hard at the farm, an only child with no brothers to help with chores. But, what Evelyn did at home for fun, I didn’t know — until the day I was invited to her farm on a warm Saturday to play. I was thrilled beyond words. Finally, I

would find out what my schoolmate did when she wasn’t at school. Like our farm, there was a long lane off the Northcote Side Road, and Father took me over in the buggy and dropped me off at the gate leading into the barnyard. Mother sent some sticky buns, as was the custom then. When one visited for the first time, a jar of jam or some other little treat went with you. Evelyn was waiting for me at the gate, and she led me right to the kitchen to say hello to her mother and hand over the sticky buns. When we went outside, I was impressed to see that Evelyn had a playhouse, filled with a make-believe stove and real little table and chairs. This little playhouse was right outside the summer kitchen, and Evelyn
said she often had her lunch out there, which to me was right up there with a trip to the movies on a Saturday night. Imagine, eating your lunch in your very own little playhouse. Then, Evelyn looked up at the summer kitchen roof, and in a voice that sounded as mad as a hatter’s, yelled at the top of her lungs, “Buster, you get off that roof this minute.” There, on the very top of the summer kitchen, was a goat — almost the size of a pony. It just glared down at
Evelyn, stomped its front foot, and looked like it defied anyone brave enough to challenge it. How it got on the roof was beyond me. “You heard me, Buster. Get off the roof.” She grabbed a branch on the ground, which looked to me like it was always at hand to deal with the goat, which seemed to have a mind of its own. She swung the branch over her head in the air. “He’s already torn the shingles off one side of the house, and my father said if I couldn’t control him, he was going to sell him to the butcher in Renfrew.” Well, Buster either knew of the threat over his head or he didn’t trust Evelyn with the branch. He made one leap and landed on all fours in front of us. Then, he turned his back on Evelyn, made a snort and kicked her with his

back feet, sending her sprawling — and then the chase was on. The two of them tore around the barnyard like two maniacs in a race for survival. Every time Evelyn got near Buster, he raised his hind legs and defied her to come any closer. It was obvious this wasn’t the first time Buster and Evelyn met horns. Finally, Buster ran toward a back field, and Evelyn very carefully put the branch right back where it was when the fight began, ready for the next challenge with the goat. I asked Evelyn how Buster got onto the roof. She said she had no idea, and neither did anyone else. No one knew how he managed the leap, and she lost count of the times the goat did it. She thought he took a running leap when no one was around, and

her father said the goat was too smart for its own good, and if one more shingle was ever seen on the ground, Buster would be taking the trip into Renfrew in the truck. During my short visit, I heard that Evelyn’s pet cat never left the barn since one day Buster kicked it about 10 feet into the air. I asked her if she considered Buster a pet. We were eating cookies in her playhouse. “I did when he was little. But, not anymore. And if he gives me one more kick like that last one, I’ll help Pop load him into the truck myself.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Enjoy the game of bridge throughout Lanark County The community’s reaction to an offer of free bridge lessons has been resoundingly positive. Some 50 people signed up for the classes that began on June 6. That number, says Smiths Falls Duplicate Bridge Club manager Don Grant, who is teaching the sessions with help from his wife Ivy, is more than three times as many as anticipated. “We are delighted with the response,” he says, pointing out that the classes are directed toward players who have played social bridge, but have little or no experience with duplicate bridge. He adds that as well as providing a service to players keen to learn more about the game and become acquainted with the changes that have occurred in bidding and play over the last decade, the lessons are a way to increase interest in the game and to involve more people in the club. “We have an active bridge club, but no club stays healthy without making the effort to increase its membership,” he says. “It’s also a place to have a lot of fun,” says Ivy, emphasizing that, despite the intricacies of the game, members still have plenty of time to enjoy social aspects. The first class, for example, included a free lunch and there is always time to enjoy the company of other players. “I don’t know what I’d do without this club,” says longtime member Helen Berry, who opted to take the classes to refresh and update her bridge skills. “As you get older, you tend to stay home all the time and that’s not a good thing.” “I signed up for the classes because I want to learn to play bridge better,” says Perth resident Barb Brady, who has played bridge socially for the last five years. “The classes are making sense of the bidding for me. I have already learned that it is a conversation, that the situation is fluid and that it changes as the bidding progresses. It all sounds good when you are talking about it, but the knowledge tends to
go out of the window when you are trying to play.” But, adds Brady, a retired probation parole officer, she still plans to join the club to play and learn more about duplicate bridge. Smiths Falls resident Laura Hunter began playing bridge with her neighbours last year, after retiring from the Diagnostic Imaging department of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. “I wanted to do something that would keep me stimulated and interested without the physical labour,” she says. “Duplicate bridge certainly does that. I’m really glad I joined the class and I especially en-
joy the practice sessions. There’s so much to learn. It really helps to keep your brain active.” For Jeannie Dagley, a member of the Smiths Falls Duplicate Bridge Club for the last six months, the classes are proving a fast learning experience. “I started playing bridge at university, then stopped for a long time,” she says. “I’ve never taken any lessons before. “I love the way these classes are set up. Though the lessons go fast, the practice sessions that follow really consolidate what you have learned.” In many ways, adds Dagley, a retired teacher

High Lonesome Nature Reserve welcome centre opens to visitors The grand opening of the new welcome centre at High Lonesome Nature Reserve took place last month. With the help of many hands, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) has now completed the renovation of an existing garage into a welcome centre. The building has been extended on two sides to create covered gazebos, providing shelter for the map of trails on the property, a bulletin board and brochure racks. Inside there are basic furnishings and storage space for staff and volunteers. New windows will provide good natural light. A new garage door slides up to provide more space during events. We are so fortunate to have had such generous, community-minded individuals to make this project a reality. Paul Kealey of EkoBuilt providing the project management and many work hours, with able assistance from Michael Neelin of Riversong Design. Terry Steeves developed the origi-
nal design, with details by Amelia Ah You and John R. MacIntyre of Arnprior provided essential engineering support. Volunteers George Fisher and MMLT board members dedicated the many days essential to the successful completion of the centre. This project was made possible with funding from Mountain Equipment Coop. Materials for a new double privy have been donated by the Almonte and Pakenham Civitan Clubs, which has been built across the trail from the welcome centre. Hygge (pronounced hoo-Gah) is a Danish word expressing a feeling of contentment and connection, exactly what one feels when surrounded by trees whispering softly in the wind. Visitors were invited to become one with nature as they consider the distinct personalities of different tree species along the trails, to learn more about them and their connections within the natural world
2017
and with people. Every tree is different. Trees are not just amorphous masses of carbon-sinking habitat for animals, but rather individual species with interesting evolutionary histories, quirky adaptations and unique characteristics. Which is your treemate, the
one that most gives you that Hygge feeling? For example, consider the stately oak tree, beloved by wildlife in the fall. Often called the Thunder Tree because it’s so often hit by lightning, it was also considered sacred to many early cultures. It is characterized by its robust na-
ture and is courageous, strong, unrelenting, independent and sensible, does not like change, and keeps its feet firmly in the ground. Or is it the birch tree with its useful, permeable bark? Because of its beauty, it was considered magical in northern Europe and was used in many
pagan rituals. You could say it is ambitiously reaching for more, seeking better horizons and obtaining higher aspirations. High Lonesome is located at 867 Carbine Rd. in Pakenham. Submitted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust

Fifty years later, recalling another amazing July 1 This week, as we prepare to celebrate Canada’s Sesquicentennial with family and friends on Saturday, I can’t help but recall the details of another Canada Day 50 years ago. I consider myself very fortunate. I was born at a time which has allowed me to fully participate in two of our country’s milestone anniversaries. The
Centennial (100th birthday) in 1967 and now the 150th birthday of our nation this July 1! Along the way I was lucky enough to participate in activities surrounding the dawn of the ‘New Millennium’ on Jan. 1, 2000. The use of the term “Canada Day” didn’t happen until 1982 with the ap-
proval of the ‘Canada Act’ which allowed the government to patriate Canada’s constitution. Until the arrival of the Canada Act, the approval of the British Parliament was required before our Parliament and Senate could make changes to the constitution. That’s why some people insist to this day that Canada didn’t

really gain full independence from Great Britain until 1982. Prior to July 1, 1982 our annual national birthday party was called “Dominion Day.” But rather than pursuing that line of thinking I prefer to stay with the generally accepted version of Canadian history. On July 1, 1867 the British North America Act 1867 (now called the Constitution Act 1867) was approved. The act united what were three separate colonies into one nation called Canada. But we were still part of the British Empire. Over the years Canada gradually gained more and more independence. In 1967 we marked our autonomy by staging what is undoubtedly the largest, year-long national celebra-
tion ever held in this country. I was a teenager at the time and I remember it vividly. My life has changed considerably in the half century between Dominion Day 1967 and Canada Day 2017. I graduated from high school and community college. I met the love of my life Kathleen. We are fortunate to have two wonderful adult children and now two little grandchildren who have completely changed our lives and in such a positive way. In 1967 I was living on the family farm at Stittsville with my parents, younger brother and two younger sisters. Our parents Howard and Molly died within seven months of each other in 2014 and 2015. The fact they are no longer with us means there will be a tinge of sadness attached to our Canada 150 observances two days hence. We celebrated a lot of Dominion and Canada Days together. However, this year we will have our friends Martin and Wendy Ireton from West Yorkshire, England and George Lees and his daughter AmanSee MAGUIRE page 14

da, from Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland with us for the July 1 festivities. Carleton Place, where we live and Comrie have been twinned for 25 years. The anniversary is a month away on Aug. 1. George chairs the twinning committee in Comrie and I chair the local committee. So their presence will make this a particularly special Canada Day. As I wrote earlier, this landmark national anniversary makes me think back to 1967 and Canada’s 100th birthday celebrations. Expo 67 It was such a year of pride and joy for all Canadians. Expo 67, the fabulous World’s Fair in Montreal, was a highlight of the year. More than 50 million people visited the sprawling site with its futuristic pavilions. Con-
sidering Canada’s population was 20 million at the time that’s a very big number. I went to Expo 67 with my late maternal grandmother, my uncle and a friend of his from Chatham, Ontario. The World’s Fair was a magnet for celebrities. The day we were there we saw Jacqueline Kennedy, the widow of slain U.S. President John F. Kennedy, as she exited the American pavilion with her entourage. It was the year before she wed billionaire shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and at the time “Jackie” as she was universally known, was one of the most popular people on the planet. We felt privileged to see her in person. I also distinctly remember riding the Monorail, the elevated railway
which ran around the sprawling site. In 1967 it too had a futuristic feel. My parents also went to Expo 67 with friends one perfect early summer day. I was tasked with babysitting my then two-year-old sister Susan. We had a wonderful day picking wild strawberries which grew in abundance at the back of our farm. I remember how excited my little sister was as she helped me pick strawberries under a blazing sun. One for us and one for Sue. Or sometimes three for Sue and one for us! But that day of strawberry picking with my little sister, during Centennial Year, is a treasured memory to this day. When my parents returned home late that night, after an enjoyable day at the World’s Fair, they found more
than three quarts of strawberries in the refrigerator. Enough for some very tasty pies. And my Mom excelled at baking fruit pies and making fruit preserves! I also recall Dominion Day 1967 in Stittsville. The vintage vehicle parade (if those cars and trucks still exist they really will be vintage now), the barbecue at Alexander’s Grove and the July 1 fireworks, supervised by the volunteer fire department which was headed by my father who was chief at the time. There was a Centennial beard growing contest in Stittsville. For the first and only time in his life my father grew a beard which he kept neatly trimmed. We still have the photographic evidence! I don’t think Dad won a prize. But
my Uncle Lloyd topped the field for having “the bushiest beard” of the Centennial contest. Yes, a lot of pleasant memories. And now, half a century later, we are about to make some more memories, this time in Carleton Place which will always be “home” to us even though neither of us was born here. Wherever you plan to be on this very special Canada Day I hope you will participate in the Sesquicentennial activities in your community and make your own special memories. We are fortunate to live in such a good country, something I remind myself of regularly. “Happy 150th Birthday Canada!” If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Ontario Autism Program transitions to family-centred funding program
Perth's JDN Center for Children is excited about a recent announcement made by the minister of children and youth services about the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) which will mean better access to custom-designed service and reduced wait times. Ultimately, it’s a win for parents and their children. As well as investing an unprec-
edented $0.5 billion over the next four years to create new services for children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder, the government is giving more control to families on how funding is managed. Parents will now have the flexibility to make use of a directfunding program. What does that mean for families? Parents will be able to transition to an offering
which will allow them to choose between receiving provincial services or receiving funding to purchase alternate services for their child. The new program will not affect support presently being received by families. This announcement reaffirms that parents can ask the government for these funds directly, giv-
ing families who want a handson role in their child’s therapy the option to hire private companies. Amanda Neadow, president and CEO of JDN Center for Children Inc., says this announcement means better focus on the child. “This announcement appears that the new Ontario Autism Program will open the door
for families who want to manage their child’s therapy,” she says. “Direct funding will allow parents to hire private providers who they feel can best meet their child’s needs and schedule. This will allow more children to receive one-to-one therapy. The benefit of one-to-one therapy is that the therapist is only working on your child’s needs and goals.
It is much more tailored to the individual needs of each child.” Transition to the direct-funding program will begin this June and be fully implemented by spring, 2018. The JDN Centre will follow this news and continue to report as the program rolls out, but parents can call the OAP at 1-888284-8340 for more information.

Sugarman shines in delightful Classic Theatre Festival comedy in Perth Fresh off her award-winning performance as Raina in last year’s Arms and the Man at Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival, Lana Sugarman has returned to star in the Bernard Slade comedy Same Time, Next Year, about a couple – Doris and George – who get together for an annual weekend over 25 years despite being married to other people. Sugarman’s performance, along with her co-star Scott Clarkson, has already won applause from audiences and some of the nation’s top theatre reviewers, Iris Winston and Jamie Portman of the Capital Critics Circle. Winston hailed the production as “A delightful opener for this year’s Classic Theatre Festival." Portman, meanwhile, enthused that “there are only two characters on stage, but thanks to the performances of Scott Clarkson and Lana Sugarman, we are conscious of other lives at play — unseen lives, yes, but ones that assume their own reality in Laurel Smith’s beautifully modulated production. These two performers take full advantage of Bernard Slade’s crackling comic dialogue. They trade the funny one-liners with an ease indicative of the potent on-stage chemistry existing between them. But there’s also genuine tenderness in the relationship we’re seeing. “Sugarman, a delightful actress, gives us a
Submitted/Jean-Denis Labelle
Lana Sugarman stars in the hit Classic Theatre Festival comedy Same Time, Next Year, in a performance that is winning praise from audiences as well as some of Canada’s top theatre reviewers. Doris with a readiness to accept the funny side of life, but she also reveals a woman with the strength and resilience to respond to change and challenge within the emerging feminist cul-
ture of the day. Clarkson, a nimble comedian, finds an unusual depth of character in George. He also is quite astonishing in giving us a man who is gradually getting older as the evening progresses. It’s an achievement that goes beyond adding a moustache to the upper lip or pencilling a bit of grey into the sideburns.” Playing Doris has been a fun experience for Sugarman, who says, "It’s especially rewarding because we get to grow up with her. She is very earnest and naive at the beginning of the show. As time goes on we see her come into her own, going back to school, speaking her mind, running a successful business and raising four children. There is both sweetness and strength. I can relate to a lot of her characteristics.” Sugarman sees similarities between the work of George Bernard Shaw and Slade, because both playwrights create characters who are trying “earnestly to find their way in the world. I think both of them comment on the times – examining the cost of war, falling for people who may not be deemed 'appropriate', all the while maintaining a fun, light tone.” Part of the challenge and charm of Same Time, Next Year is both characters always being on stage for the length of the show. Sugarman sees a beauty in this challenge, because “you are always ‘in the world of the play,’ in a zone with
no distractions. I think it can be more challenging at times for the characters who pop in and out, or enter late in the show, and have to keep the energy/continuity going.” Working with her co-star Clarkson – with whom she also performed in Arms and the Man – has been a gift. “A trust is built, and I think that is essential for a show like this,” she explains. “When you feel safe as an actor you can really play, expand, and create strong, heartfelt work. I think Scott and I have a great chemistry onstage and I'm excited to take this journey with such a talented actor and fabulous fellow.” Director Laurel Smith has been pleased with the strong audience reaction and terrific critical reception for the show. “People leave the theatre with big smiles on their faces, and they've had a truly rewarding experience,” she says. Same Time, Next Year runs until July 16, Tuesday to Sunday at 2 p.m., with 8 p.m. shows Wednesdays and Saturdays. It's followed later this summer by Shaw’s comedy Candida and the thriller I’ll Be Back before Midnight. The Festival’s theatrical walking plays, Perth through the Ages (Wednesday to Sun at 11 a.m.) and The Lonely Ghosts Walk (Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m.) round out a very full festival summer. Tickets available at www.classictheatre.ca or 1-877-283-1283.

Major modernization project underway at Kemptville District Hospital BY PAULINA HREBACKA
phrebacka@metroland.com
Exciting changes are coming to Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) which will allow the current outpatient clinic spaces and services to be doubled. The hospital will see a substantial expansion of outpatient space with new multi-purpose clinic rooms, wider hallways, and several new features including a family room, which will provide a private visiting or grieving space. This is all happening in the original wing of the hospital that originally opened in 1960. The project was driven by the results of public consultations which took place in the spring of 2016 and indicated an increasing demand for specialized programs and services. “We are responding to what we heard from the community,” KDH CEO Frank J. Vassallo said. “We’re also mindful of the information we receive from environmental scanning which shows rapid growth in North Grenville. We have many young families moving here, as well as people preparing to retire, so we need to keep step with the needs of our community by offering specialized services which cater to the needs of all age groups.” Some of the proposed clinics include children and youth services with a focus on mental health and addictions, support for seniors and people living with chronic illnesses, and new specialists’ clinics offering pain management, ophthalmology, urology, and psychiatry. The hospital

The initiative will expand the outpatient space currently available at the hospital. is also working on disease prevention, education and wellness programs. Currently, KDH is unable to provide these vital programs and services due to space constraints and outdated facilities. The hospital has only three clinic spaces which are utilized to their highest capacity, with 14 different specialists using them on a regular basis. This has resulted in the turning away of additional specialists hoping to offer their services at the hospital. The current clinic

spaces located in the 1960s-era wing of the hospital are old-fashioned, cramped and inefficient. “We do fantastic work in the current space in spite of the limitations,” said Vassallo. “It’s a function of the people — and as I’ve often said, our mission is health, but our strength is certainly our people.” Instead of building new, the clinic modernization project will update existing clinic space and renovate underutilized areas to double the overall outpatient offerings that currently
exist. “The rooms are very spacious and wide-open,” Vassallo said. “They will be multi-purpose, so we can have two different services going on in the same day. Even in the smaller clinic spaces, the rooms could be used by two or three different specialists.” While making these crucial services available to the people who need them, the new clinic spaces will also enhance the patient experience by providing much needed privacy and comfort, and allowing the implementation of new technologies for patient care, such as telemedicine and highly specialized equipment for clinic procedures. The hospital is also working hard to make health care seamless for those transitioning from one provider to another, and leveraging information technology to enhance patient care. “We want to make sure that we offer an exemplary patient experience,” Vassallo said. “Patient and family-centred care is a huge strength for us, and it’s been a major theme that drove us over the top to achieve our Exemplary Standing with Accreditation Canada. We scored a rare 100 per cent on meeting all 1,666 items of criteria, which we are so proud of.” KDH also just won the Healthy Foods in Champlain Hospitals silver award, for offering healthy food options to patients, volunteers and staff. The KDH modernization project will cost roughly $2.1 million. “A little over $400,000 will be the

nity. Today, we need economic development.” Kenyon has worked with more than 2,000 communities in 59 countries and introduced the Bank of I.D.E.A.S. (Initiatives for the Development of Enterprising Action and Strategies). He is a gripping storyteller with wisdom to share from all over the world about effective community development initiatives. “What we’re lacking is ordinary people stepping up,” Ke-
nyon said. “We need to come together and take action.” Kenyon shared a few stories at the Teeny Tiny Summit from around the globe about small, successful towns. One of the towns he spoke about has only seven residents, as well as the most awarded hotel in rural Australia. “It’s located in the desert, 500km out of the capital city, and the hotel has won more awards than any other in rural Australia,” Kenyon said. Kenyon also spoke about a bakery located on a “road to
nowhere” in a little town three hours outside of Melbourne, which now shows the largest annual turnover of all bakeries in the southern hemisphere. “To me, success in every small town is an inside job,” Kenyon said. “It’s about the people who live in that community starting to look at themselves and each other, identifying the amazing assets and resources they’ve got, and taking a few risks. It’s about realizing we’re the ones we’ve been waiting for, and we need to come together.”

The third annual Kemptville Live Music Festival is fast approaching, and tickets for Friday night’s lineup, featuring headliner Dwight Yoakam, are nearly sold out. On top of that, the VIP tickets for all four days have sold out, and so has the camping space. Festival co-organizer Bob Besharah and his team of volunteers are excited for the event, as upwards of 15,000 guests are expected to attend. The festival will take place at its usual location on the Kemptville College grounds, at 830 Prescott St. from Thursday, July 20 to Sunday, July 23. This year’s musical lineup may be the best yet, as such artists as Burton Cummings, Gordon Lightfoot, and David Wilcox are set to headline. Other notable artists include blues singer/ songwriter Angel Forrest on Thursday, Ottawa Valley band Silver Creek on Friday, rock duo the Weber Brothers on Saturday, and female blues guitarist Rory Block on Sunday. With a schedule featuring nearly 20 bands over four days, Besharah said the week-

show. “We’re getting emails from people asking why the shuttles end at 8 p.m., when the bands don’t start until 9:30,” Besharah said. “We want them to know that the headliners start at 9:30 p.m., but on Saturday for example, there’s incredible music starting at 2 in the afternoon, so, people shouldn’t plan on missing the whole show.”

Municipality cautions residents of unlicensed door-to-door sales BY ASHLEY KULP
akulp@metroland.com
Concerns have been raised from the community over a company’s door-to-door sales tactics. During the June 19 North Grenville committee of the whole meeting, director of emergency and protective services/fire chief John Okum brought the matter to council’s attention. He noted the municipality’s bylaw services department has been receiving several complaints about a company using aggressive tactics to sell water filtration services. Door-to-door sales within North Grenville are not permitted without a municipal sales license after council passed a bylaw in 2015. Okum said “at this time, there is no municipal sales license that has been approved for these door-todoor sales in the Municipality of
North Grenville.” Bylaw services did connect with the company, advising them to submit an application for a license if they wished to continue. “…They have not submitted any application and we understand they have discontinued door-to-door sales,” Okum stated. According to a press release from North Grenville, there are no doorto-door sales licenses currently issued in the municipality, but residents are encouraged to request to see a company’s municipal sales license if a salesperson shows up to sell goods at their home. If the company is unable to produce a license or refuses, take down the company name, representative and any vehicle information to North Grenville’s bylaw services at 613-258-9569 ext. 206 or the OPP at 613-258=3441. If concerned for your safety, dial 911.

hospital’s contribution from its working capital fund, and the remaining $1.7 million will be raised through other means,” said Vassallo. “A large portion of that — one million — is our foundation’s fundraising campaign target. We’re optimistic that once the public sees what’s happening here, and all the work that’s being done, that we’ll surpass the campaign target.” The official construction began
during the first week of February and the anticipated completion is sometime this fall. “We’re very excited,” Vassallo said. “I think we’re coming into the era of collaboration and partnership, and I think that’s important for the community, and this new outpatient space increases our ability to do that. If we’re going to get to the next level and serve our community in a very meaningful way, we need to collaborate — I don’t think there’s an option not to.”

Run and hide
I
hide from my kids sometimes and I’m not ashamed to admit it. On occasion I will curl into a little ball, cover myself in a blanket, and count the glorious moments of solitude until they find me (usually about 60 seconds or so). Does this make me a bad parent? Nope. It makes me a really smart one. Kids are a lot to handle. People think babies are hard. Sure, they cry and poop a lot and have yet to master the English language. But here’s the great thing about babies: they stay where you put them. Once they learn to walk, your kids can find you – anywhere, anytime. When I had just one kid, I did everything right. I played with him all the time, read him endless stories, paid attention to his thrilling tales of caterpillars and spiders. But now that my brood has grown to three, I spend most of my time just trying to keep up: laundry, dishes, vacuuming, meals, scheduling, touring to soccer practice, trying to maintain sanity… So hiding is just one of my many coping mechanisms. I also utilize running away – so far, I am still faster. To them, it’s a game. To me, it’s an actual race where my sanity is waiting at the finish line. This may seem cruel, but when you spend all day listening to ‘mom, mom, mom,’ it is perfectly reason-
JENNIFER WESTENDORP MY OPINION able to use all means possible to escape temporarily. At some points, all three of my kids talk over one another trying to get my attention. Silence is golden for mothers because it’s as rare (or rarer) than seeing a pig fly. When I was a kid, I loved playing hide and seek. And I was amazing at it. Who knew that one day I would need those skills to cope with parenting? The irony. Another method I find useful is turning the table on my kids. When I’ve had enough of the incessant ‘mom’ beckoning, I start pretending to be the kid. Give them a little taste of their own medicine. Mom, I’m hungry! Mom, I’m tired! MOMMY, where’s my truck? Where’s my dolly? They laugh and laugh: there goes crazy mom again, acting like a baby. But I think deep down they get it because they stop bugging me for a few minutes. I’ll take what I can get. I know the day will come when I will miss them calling me every two seconds. But for now I’ll keep the blanket close.

The Canada 150 South Wind Voyageur Canoe Brigade making their stop through Merrickville on Wednesday, June 28.

Fergus has a shocking experience in the barnyard
W
hen Fergus first arrived on the farm, he was quite overwhelmed. All of the sights, sounds and smells filled his senses and he spent many long hours sitting on the front porch, surveying his new kingdom. Occasionally, he would summon the nerve to hop down the big set of stairs that his little legs could barely reach so that he could lie on the cool green grass and nap. That was when he was nine weeks old. Over the next month, Fergus’ legs grew so that he could leap up and down any set of stairs with ease, if not grace. He began chasing the birds that had scared him by swooping down and dive bombing him when he had first arrived on the scene. He followed his nose down a groundhog hole under the playhouse and discovered the joy of running laps in the loose soil of my vegetable garden. Finally, after weeks of sitting on the back deck studying the cattle in the meadow, Fergus decided to wriggle under the fence to the barnyard. On his first attempt, he was scolded for eating the garbage ash around the burn barrel. He immediately understood that he was not to go into

the barnyard again, after a sharp tap on the butt and a stern tone of voice from his master. However, the attraction was too great. The next time, I caught him tiptoeing deeper into the barnyard and peering around the corner of the shed toward the big barn. “Fergus!” I shouted. He turned and looked at me, then turned back and ran as fast as he could toward the manure pile. I had just dumped the kitty litter there and realized, with horror, that he thought he could smell a potential midday snack. Over the next week we caught Fergus in the barnyard several times a day, sampling other disgusting delicacies. He developed a digestive issue. I was up two and three times a night, changing the puppy pad at the end of his bed. Fergus needed a bath in the morning, as he had soiled his
fur. The vet did a test on his feces and called me with the results. “We found something strange in Fergus’ poop,” she announced, “so we sent it off to someone who looks at this sort of thing all day long.” I can only imagine a few jobs worse than that. “It seems Fergus has a rare parasite that is usually only found in earthworms!” she declared. “Is it possible that he has been eating mud?” I had to laugh. Mud? Try mud, manure, cat litter, garden soil … anything that is smelly and on the ground at Ferg level. The vet assured me that the parasite would harmlessly work its way through the puppy’s system. She also prescribed something for the loose bowel problem. Then I looked at the bigger picture. We had to find a way to keep Fergus out of the barnyard. We have inherited the invisible fencing collar that my daughter used with her hunting dogs. The first morning, I walked the perimeter of the property with him on a leash beside me. Every time the collar beeped I told him “no, no, no” the way I always do when he is leaving his boundary. I made sure the system was set to encompass his established toilet area, the front and
back porch and plenty of yard. But he could no longer access the chicken shed, my vegetable garden or his beloved barnyard. I adjusted the collar to Fergus’ scrawny little puppy neck, and set him free. Within five minutes he was under the fence and trotting happily into the barnyard. Just then, the collar started to beep. He stopped, turned and looked at me, wide-eyed. “Come, Fergus!” I called, holding the gate open to the house yard. He turned to go farther into the barnyard, and then suddenly started hopping around and yelping as if he had been stung by a bee. He yipped and yelped and covered the 15 feet between us in about three leaps, landing in my arms.
He shivered and whimpered like a European football star who had just had his ear flicked during a match. I set the collar a little lower in intensity, realizing it had been dialed up to control Annie’s high-strung German pointer, Skor. Surely a little golden retriever doesn’t need more than a subtle reminder of his boundaries. Now Fergus turns tail and runs back to the house whenever he reaches the outskirts of his property and his collar begins to beep. He is a smart dog and is determined never to let his collar sting him again. Email: dianafisher1@gmail.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com

BIG THANKS! The family of Thomas Edward Lynch aka ‘Bifford’ would like to express our heartfelt Thanks to all who engaged Biff positively over the 40 years he spent in the Westport-PerthLanark area. I am still not sure what his initial reasons were for coming to this area, but after my own encounters with many of the locals while in town dealing with Biffs illness and passing, it is easy to understand why he stayed and actually flourished in his own way. Biff lived life the way he chose, to his own ideals and was afforded dignity and respect by those that took the time to know him. We would like to acknowledge and express our gratitude to the staff at Perth and Smith Falls District Hospitals for the care and comfort they provided, when I know Biff was not at his best. To Neil, Vicki and Noreen at Kudrinko’s who provided the catering and kind words at this time and to Biff many times in the past. To Reverend Shirley Abrahamse his friend and to Pastor Paul Millar his fellow gardener and Strawberry Social Organizer who both provided Biff with the Daily Bread, which in true Biff fashion he recycled to those important to him. To Dale Lyons and his staff at Lyons Funeral home, they make things simple and provided welcomed guidance. To Elizabeth at Creative Gardens for her great ideas which will keep Biff in the minds and window sills of many. To Dave and the staff of Royal Canadian Legion #542 who allowed us the use of their great facility. Special thanks to the friends of Biff who visited him in the hospital, those that joined us on the 25th, shared stories and to those that sent along condolences. Especially to Ken Miller and his parents, Jeff Adrain, his family and the Little One that left Biff a Unicorn for his new travels and to Biff’s local family the Hagan’s, David, Chris, Jean, Carmel, Rita and Vince. The peace you have all brought to our family and Tom’s Mom, is cherished. I hope our Dad was listening.

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.
Memorial tree ceremony held at Veterans Way Memorial Park The Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation board of directors, representatives from the Veterans Way Memorial Committee and a number of invited dignitaries gathered together at the Veterans Way Memorial Park on Saturday, June 24, to participate in a Canada 150 military tribute to the Canadian Armed Forces through the formal dedication of seven memorial trees that were planted at the site. Carl Doucette, president of the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation, acted as master of ceremonies for the event and welcomed those in attendance. He led off his comments by stating “we at the corporation are proud to support this Memorial Park and Veterans Way in honour of those soldiers, sailors and airmen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice.” After introducing Mayor David Gordon and Coun. Donovan Arnaud as our special guests, Doucette called upon John Wilson, chairman, Veterans Way Memorial Committee, to provide a brief history of the Veterans Way roadway and the Veterans Way Memorial Park. "Veterans Way, the brainchild of Owen Fitz’Gerald, was formally created on May 25, 2002 with a ceremony that included municipal and military representatives, veterans and the general public,” Wilson said. “The naming of the road was accomplished with the support of the Municipality of North Grenville, the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation (FFCC) and the Royal Canadian Legion Kemptville Branch 212." Wilson went on to state that "the Veterans Way Memorial Park proposal was adopted by our Municipal Council with the passing of a special bylaw on Aug. 8, 2011. It became a reality through the dedicated efforts of the Veterans Way Memorial Committee, comprised at the time of Owen Fitz’Gerald, Roy Brown, Doug Brunton and former Coun. Tim Sutton, along with the full support of the municipality and the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation." "Later, three flagpoles, bearing the flags of Canada, the Royal Union (the Union Jack) and the United States of America were put in place. The flagpoles were sponsored by the Municipality of North Grenville, Cheryl Brown, Roy Brown, Owen Fitz’Gerald and the Royal Canadian Legion Kemptville Branch 212. The park benches were donated by Owen Fitz’Gerald as an individual and the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation (FFCC)." "On Sept. 27, 2015, with full pomp and ceremony, the M109A4+ SelfPropelled Howitzer Memorial Monument was dedicated to those who served and those who continue to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces,” Wilson continued. The Howitzer, donated by the Department of National Defence, was the final component of the original site and business plan approved by the municipality.

Seven memorial trees were planted in Kemptville’s Veterans Way Memorial Park June 24 as part of a Canada 150 military tribute to the Canadian Armed Forces. From left: Veterans Way Memorial Committee members Doug Brunton and Roy Brown; Veterans Way Memorial Committee chairman John Wilson; North Grenville Mayor David Gordon; Coun. Donovan Arnaud; and Carl Doucette, president of the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation with the memorial plaque. Doucette then described the significance of the ceremony and the memorial trees that have been planted at the memorial park. “The seven special trees you see before you were planted by the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation as living memorials to the Canadian men and women who paid the supreme sacrifice during their service in armed conflicts and peacekeeping missions spanning the globe,” he stated. "The central tree in the forefront is the eastern white pine representing the Six Nations Tree of Peace, whose origin dates back hundreds of years. In the early 1800s the Tree of Peace helped form one of the most powerful leagues ever, the Iroquois League of Nations. The Iroquois League was made up of six tribes: the Cayuga, the Mohawk, the Oneida, the Onondaga, the Seneca, and the Tuscarora,” Doucette added. "The tribes of the Iroquois League at one time were fighting with one another. There were fierce battles, but the people grew tired of the fighting. They agreed to bury their weapons under a giant white pine tree. They believed that the weapons would be carried away by the underground waters, so they sent the weapons off through the path of the roots. The weapons went in all four directions. After that, the tribes no longer fought. Instead, they formed the Iroquois League. Today the Iroquois people have peace with one another and together the tribes form a powerful nation." "This white pine Six Nations Tree of Peace commemorates the end of the Second World War to keep us ever mindful that peace comes at the cost of human life,” he said. Doucette continued by providing interesting background information on the eastern white pine by explaining that the Province of Ontario ad-
opted the white pine as an official symbol on May 1, 1984. "The eastern white pine is found throughout Ontario, being the tallest tree species in the province and can live for more than 250 years. It is known as the ‘Tree of Great Peace’ by the Haudenosaunee First Nations of Southern Ontario,” he said. “How fitting then that this tree represents the Six Nations Tree of Peace." Doucette explained the other memorial trees featured. "Proceeding down the left side from the white pine we have the white oak, commemorating the First World War where 66,000 Canadians gave their lives and more than 172,000 were wounded. Next is the red oak commemorating the Second World War where 45,000 gave their lives and another 55,000 were wounded. The last tree in the line is the bur oak commemorating the Korean War where 516 gave their lives and many more wounded,” he noted. "On the right side of the white pine you first have the red maple, commemorat-
ing the Persian Gulf War where, thankfully, there were no Canadian casualties. Behind this is the hard maple commemorating the War in Afghanistan where 158 of our Canadians gave their lives and countless others live among us today with injuries to body and mind that they must carry with them for the rest of their lives,” Doucette continued. “Finally, there is the silver maple commemorating operations supporting the United Nations and NATO.” It is very appropriate that this site be the venue for these living memorials since the Memorial Park, as of July of 2016, has been registered with the Department of National Defence / National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials. Doucette took a solemn moment to recognize and thank veterans of the Second World War, Korea, United Nations and NATO Missions, the Gulf War, Afghanistan, and all who have served and still serve in the Canadian military.

The creative approach taken to commercial candy making candy, or if a variety of colours are to be filled in the same tray. The trays are then placed in holding chambers where temperature and humidity are controlled while the candies solidify or gel. After a suitable time period, the contents of the trays are dumped into a screening process to separate the formed candies from the starch powder. The recovered starch is sifted to
BY DON MERCER
Many of us seem to take for granted the wide variety of shapes of the candies tempting us from their places on the grocery store shelves. We never give a second thought to the creativity involved in producing them. Those of you who have made candies at home are probably familiar with the different molds that are available. These plastic or rubber forms allow you to make special shapes for various holidays and special occasions. Each shape requires a different mold, so your inventory can soon mount up if you are into candy making in a serious way. Now, picture commercial candy makers who produce huge quantities of product on a continuous basis throughout the year. If they used individual molds, metal trays would be required for strength in place of more fragile materials that are suitable for in-home use. Their cost alone would be prohibitive. Handling and storage would add another level of expense and complexity. Rather than having hundreds or thousands of trays for dozens of occasions, commercial candy makers use a simple but rather elegant approach. Starch molding is the basis for this method. Dry, powdered corn starch is placed in rectangular metal trays and levelled to the top edge. The trays of starch, which take the place of the molds, are placed on a conveyor belt which carries them through the process. The most important part of the process is the stamping plate needed to obtain the shape of the candies. A

remove any lumps. It is then sent back to the start of the process to be filled into empty trays that will go through the system again. The candies pass through a series of cleaning operations to remove the residual starch clinging to their surfaces. Gel-based candies are often given a spray coating of an edible oil or wax to make them shine and prevent them from sticking together in the package.
From personal experience, I can attest to the fact that although starch molding is an interesting approach to candy making, it can be extremely messy. Don’t be surprised to find a layer of white dust covering things in your work area if you decide to give this method a try.

Commercial candy makers use starch molding to create large quantities of the sweet confections. set of desired shapes is secured to a metal backing plate. These shapes can be easily changed depending upon the desired theme of the candies. In this way, only one set of forms is required in each case. While thousands of trays for the starch may be needed, they can be used for all production needs, thereby streamlining the overall process. The stamping plate is attached to a hydraulic press in the production line. As the trays go through the process, the stamping plate pushes down on the starch. This leaves the indentations necessary to form the candies in the compacted starch. At the next step in the process, small nozzles fill each indentation with a jellylike syrup or other liquid. A series of nozzles can be used if multiple layers of colours are desired in the same
